Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

Eslint-plugin-import version 2.11.0 introduces notable changes compared to its predecessor, version 2.10.0. A key difference lies in the dependencies; version 2.11.0 replaces builtin-modules with resolve version 1.6.0. This substitution likely impacts how the plugin identifies and handles built-in modules within JavaScript projects, potentially affecting import resolution and rule enforcement. The plugin size has also increased slightly, with an unpacked size of 483708 compared to 466973 in the previous version.

For developers leveraging eslint-plugin-import to enhance code quality and maintainability, these changes are crucial. The shift to resolve might influence how the plugin interacts with module resolvers, particularly in complex project setups. Although the core functionality remains consistent – ensuring sanity in JavaScript imports – the underlying mechanism for module identification has evolved. Both versions support ESLint versions 2.x through 4.x as peer dependencies, providing a stable upgrade path for existing users. Furthermore, the continued presence of development dependencies such as typescript-eslint-parser and eslint-plugin-typescript points to ongoing efforts to support modern JavaScript and TypeScript workflows. Developers should test the new version in their specific environment to ensure compatibility and desired behavior, considering the potential ramifications of the dependency change.
